TAMPA Manual
version: Tampa-081602
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the TAMPA, designed and
manufactured by M-Audio. TAMPA is a professional, single channel
microphone/instrument preamp unlike any other.That’s because our design
team set out to discover just why expensive tube technology sounds so
good, and devise a way to land that sound at affordable solid state prices.
The result is far beyond tube modeling. It’s a whole new technology called
Temporal Harmonic Alignment™.
Temporal Harmonic Alignment
—the Secret Behind the Sound: In natural sound sources such as strings,
drum heads and vocal chords, harmonics share a characteristic temporal
(phase) relationship to the fundamental. Our ears exhibit the same
qualities. Solid state electronics induce distortion in the form of additional
harmonics that are out of phase with the original source. Tube-based
devices strike the ear as having such a “warm” sound because the added
harmonics have the same temporal relationship as natural mechanisms
(although predominantly in the midrange).This results in a sweet spot that
makes vocals, guitars and other midrange-rich content sound especially
pleasing. TAMPA’s revolutionary new Temporal Harmonic Alignment
technology produces that same phase relationship found in both tubes and
nature. And unlike tubes, TAMPA’s sweet spot spans the full spectrum of
your sound—from bass to cymbals.
Dual Optical Servo Compressor
TAMPA also includes a dual optical servo compressor that is worth the
price alone. Three fundamental problems plague engineers in designing
compressors—distortion, noise and accuracy.The VCA technology used in
inexpensive compressors exhibits less than professional specs on all three
counts. Simple optical servo technology is much more quiet and accurate,
yet has its own issues with distortion. The dual optical servo technology
we use in TAMPA yields low noise, consistent accuracy, low distortion and
exceptional transparency—and it comes built-in to a great mic preamp.
Your TAMPA’s Features
• Professional mic/instrument preamp with Temporal Harmonic Alignment
• Built-in dual optical servo compressor
• Balanced phantom-powered XLR mic input with variable impedance for
optimized performance with vintage mics

9. LOW CUT: Rolls off 12dB per octave at 80Hz and below when engaged.
Use this to avoid rumble from passing traffic, footsteps and so forth.
10. COMPRESSOR IN/OUT: Engages/disengages the TAMPA’s entire
compressor stage. When disengaged, TAMPA’s compressor circuitry is
removed from the signal path.
11. COMPRESSOR IN/OUT INDICATOR: Lights when the COMPRESSOR
IN/OUT switch is set to the “IN” position to indicate that the compressor
is on and is part of the signal path.
12. THRESHOLD:Threshold level at which the compressor engages. Range is
from –20dB to +20dB.
13. RATIO: Ratio of the input dynamic above the compression threshold to the
output dynamic above the compression threshold. Range is from 1.1:1 to 10:1.
14. ATTACK: Controls the amount of time required for the compressor to
reduce the gain once the threshold level is reached. Range is 1 millisecond
to 11 milliseconds.
15. RELEASE: Controls the amount of time it takes the compressor to return to
normal or zero gain reduction. Range is from 250 milliseconds to 5 seconds.
16. GAIN REDUCTION METER: Provides metering (in decibels) of the
gain reduction resulting from compression, where 0 VU represents
zero gain reduction.
17. OUTPUT METER: Provides metering (in decibels) of TAMPA’s overall output
level (prior to the 20dB PAD), where 0 VU represents +26dBu.This meter is
unaffected by the 20dB PAD switch. Note that this is a `quasi-peak type’
meter whose ballistics respond with approximately the same dynamics as the
human ear.
18. CLIP: Indicator illuminates when output signal reaches +26dBu (approx.
0VU on OUTPUT METER).This is equivalent to approximately 4dB below
the digital clipping level of 30.5dBu.
19. PHASE: Reverses the phase of TAMPA’s output.The INVERT position forces
TAMPA’s analog audio output to be 180 degrees out of phase from the
input, where the NORM position leaves the analog output in phase with
the input. NOTE: Digital output is always in phase with the input.
20. 20dB PAD: When engaged, attenuates TAMPA’s analog output by 20dB—
useful in avoiding the overload of subsequent equipment in the sound
chain. The 20dB pad will also allow you increase the gain on the TAMPA
preamp and force the signal into an area of greater soft-clipping/tube
emulation.The 20dB PAD appears in the TAMPA circuit after the OUTPUT
LEVEL METER. NOTE: Digital output level is not affected by the 20dB pad.
21. SAMPLE RATE:Adjusts the sample rate of TAMPA’s digital outputs to match
the sampling rate of the digital gear TAMPA is feeding. Settings are 44.1kHz,
48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz.
